Opener Shathi Rani had gotten off to a rapid start, scoring 13 off 11 deliveries but Bangladesh lost momentum as they lost two wickets inside just 3.2 overs.
Bangladesh never had a decent partnership from then on, losing wickets at regular intervals.
Earlier, after being asked to field first, Bangladesh bowlers managed to put on a decent showing as Nahida Akter and Sultana Khatun took two wickets each for the Tigresses.
